Neighbor's commands coming in...

[marty k.]

I just recently install a phase
coupler/repeater and now I seem to be
receiving X10 commands from a neighbor's
alarm system (or something).

Here's just one Activity log entry...

05/20/2005 8:12:04 am - Receive -
StatusRequest

...and there's many, many more just like it
(2 or 3 per second).

Every so often I'll get an actual House
code/Unit code (like a B13 or J1) but for
the most part it's just StatusRequest.

The house code I'm using is "C" which seems
to be one of 4 house codes not used by the
neighbor's system.

If I turn on or off a light or appliance in
my system, it usually will silence the
StatusRequest for awhile.  Maybe an hour.

I know all this traffic can't be a good
thing.  My macros don't fire all the time.
Could this be why?

Should I install a whole house filter or
what?

Thanks for any replies.

Completely different interfaces and
protocols. I also doubt that it will ever
happen. An early Inseton controller I saw
for sale had the ability to control a few
X10 addresses, but mostly does it's own
stuff. Different PLC frequency for the
powerline and different RF frequencies also.
AHP seems to have enough problems with it's
own equipment.

Now that’s a good joke,
X10 can’t event get AHP to work reliably
with their own products, let alone with a
more advanced protocol.

Hey X10 Pro...

Any ideas?  Fixes?  Will the next update
address this?

Thanks,
Marty
